1981 VR6 Swapped Rabbit Truck - not mine but affiliated

Hi All - this is strange enough that I thought I might be talking to the right crowd.

My buddy Andy built this with no expense spared.  It was a Nebraska truck that was diesel in it's former life without an ounce of rust anywhere to be found.  It then went full resto with all aspects addressed.  I'm personally badgering him for selling it but hey it's his.

1981 VW Rabbit Truck VR6 Swapped

1981 VW Rabbit Pickup/Caddy. Originally a 1.6 Liter diesel/4 speed Nebraska Farm truck. Truck was very solid to begin with and needed minimal body restoration. Drivetrain has 30k miles and was freshened up. Donor vehicle was an OBD2 1998 GTI. VR6 engine with mild cams, MK4 headgasket, new chains and guides. 02A 5 speed transmission with a peloquin limited slip differential. 
Euro wise shortened oil pan, engine mounts, and axles. Raceland coilovers on the front with drop plates and air shocks on the rear. Body was fully resprayed in original satin silver. Recaro trophy seats. 
Many more details that I am happy to discuss with serious buyers. Looking for a straight sale, no trades. Feel free to email with any questions. Thanks!

That is very cool.  It’s well outside my comfort zone of price but way cool.

I hate Volkswagen and I love this thing! Glws. 

I like that.

I want a set of those seats for my duster..  

That's like a greatest hits of everything I would want in a VW. Weirdest bodystyle, vintage recaros, mesh wheels, manual shifting, and cool narrow angle v6 chewbacca noises. Price seems fair too.

This is pretty much exactly how I would build a Caddy, except for wheel choice.  Very inspirational for my own beater bike hauler build.  

Appreciate the kind words.   I would guess the price to be min 5k less in parts/paint than he has into it.
